Enhancing Medical Office Asset Management
The healthcare industry is enhancing its resilience. Faced with numerous challenges brought by the pandemic, many health system owners are enhancing efficiency by stockpiling supplies, strengthening vendor partnerships, and following prescribed preventive maintenance schedules. Jennifer Seiler from Cushman & Wakefield provides top strategies for managing medical office assets effectively:
- Communication & Planning: Maintain open communication with vendors and implement preventive planning to avoid disruptions.
- Leasing with Build-Outs: Offer basic build-outs to expedite and attract leasing.
- Proactive Service Management: Consistently monitor service contracts and building conditions for safety and efficiency.
Seiler highlights vendor partnerships as key, particularly for HVAC and preventive maintenance, which are vital in settings like surgery where climate control affects patient safety. She advises maintaining strong vendor relationships by bidding contracts to multiple providers and prioritizing quality over cost. Proactive planning and strong vendor management are essential for efficient and safe healthcare facility operations.
Elevating Property Value Through Strategic Management
Commercial property managers play a crucial role by contributing directly to strategic planning, which can lead to quicker responses and innovative budgeting solutions. Being on the front lines, they influence tenant retention, handle maintenance, and implement cost-effective upgrades. Often, property managers are separated from asset managers, limiting their potential impact. However, with reduced transaction activity focusing more on operations, now is the time for property managers to demonstrate their strategic value. Recent data shows significant growth in property management portfolios, highlighting the importance of diverse property types in balancing market challenges. Property managers are essential to maximizing property value and should have an active role in strategic discussions.
